Technological Indicators
The purpose of this assignment is to guide students in the selection of indicators to be used in their PESTEL Analysis. This is a group assignment. We want to make sure that you understand each indicator and what is expected of those indicators selected.
Include the following information:
Technological Indicators For guidance on what an indicator is and an example thereof, refer to the Indicator Assignment presentation.
Your indicators should meet the criteria for use in your PESTEL Analysis:
Quantitative, measurable, minimum of 5 years of historical data (or 5 reporting periods if reported for intervals longer than 1 year), reputable source, clear methodology for the development of the indicator.
The indicator should be actively reported in recent 5 years (no obsolete data!)
Source:
Provide the primary source for your indicator, for example, if you choose the Democracy Index from Freedom House as your indicator, provide Freedom House as your source. Do not provide as your source webpages that aggregate various indicators or press articles or scholarly papers that analyze these indicators.
Your 8 indicators should be sourced from a minimum of 4 sources
Your sources must be reputable. Examples of reputable sources include: OECD, Eurostat, Pew Research, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, CIA, United Nations
Number of Countries in Database: Provide the total number of countries included in the database for each indicator.
The number of countries does not have to be equal or close to the total number of countries in the world. Some organizations report indicators for their member countries (for example, OECD and Eurostat). Such comparisons are also valid.
